Apply for Pupil Premium

Extra funding for schools

Pupil Premium can be claimed by West Berkshire schools, nurseries and Pupil Referral Units (PRUs) on behalf of children whose parents/guardians are in receipt of one or more of the following:
* Income Support (IS) *
* Income Based Job Seekers Allowance (IBJSA) *
* Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 (from the National Asylum Support Service)
* Guarantee element of State Pension Credit
* Child Tax Credit, provided they are not entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual income (as assessed by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs) that does not exceed £16,190
* Employment Support Allowance (Income Related) (ESA(IR))
* Children who receive IS or IBJSA in their own right are also eligible for Pupil Premium.
This form uses an automatic central Government Eligibility Checking Service (ECS) to check eligibility for Pupil Premium. The use of this service is permitted by sections 110 and 111 of the Education Act 2005 and it is an offence to use the service for any purpose other than this.
